Low temperature electron-phonon resonance in dc-current-biased two-dimensional electron systems
Effects of resonant acoustic phonon scattering on magnetoresistivity are
examined in two-dimensional electron systems at low temperatures by using a
balance-equation magnetotransport scheme direct controlled by the current. The
experimentally observed resonances in linear resistivity are shown to result
from the conventional bulk phonon modes in a GaAs-based system, without
invoking leaky interface phonons. Due to quick heating of electrons, phonon
resonances can be dramatically enhanced by a finite bias current. When the
electron drift velocity increases to the speed of sound, additional and
prominent phonon resonance peaks begin to emerge. As a result, remarkable
resistance oscillation and negative differential resistivity can appear in
nonlinear transport in a modest mobility sample at low temperatures, which is
in agreement with recent experiments.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, published versio
Photodetachment of H near a partial reflecting surface
Theoretical and interpretative study on the subject of photodetachment of
H near a partial reflecting surface is presented, and the absorption
effect of the surface is investigated on the total and differential cross
sections using a theoretical imaging method. To understand the absorption
effect, a reflection parameter is introduced as a multiplicative factor to
the outgoing detached-electron wave of H propagating toward the wall. The
reflection parameter measures, how much electron wave would reflect from the
surface; K=0 corresponds to no reflection and K=1 corresponds to the total
reflection.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Gluon recombination in high parton density QCD: inclusive pion production
We argue that the collinear factorization of the fragmentation functions in
high energy hadron and nuclei collisions breaks down at transverse momenta kT <
Qs/g due to high parton densities in the colliding hadrons and/or nuclei. We
calculate, at next-to-leading order in projectile parton density and to all
orders in target parton density, the double-inclusive cross section for
production of a pair of gluons in the scalar J^(PC)=0^(++) channel. Using the
low energy theorems of QCD we find the inclusive cross section for pi-meson
production.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figure
Controlling the spin orientation of photoexcited electrons by symmetry breaking
We study reflection of optically spin-oriented hot electrons as a means to
probe the semiconductor crystal symmetry and its intimate relation with the
spin-orbit coupling. The symmetry breaking by reflection manifests itself by
tipping the net-spin vector of the photoexcited electrons out of the light
propagation direction. The tipping angle and the pointing direction of the
net-spin vector are set by the crystal-induced spin precession, momentum
alignment and spin-momentum correlation of the initial photoexcited electron
population. We examine non-magnetic semiconductor heterostructures and
semiconductor/ferromagnet systems and show the unique signatures of these
effects.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, resubmitte
Gluon multiplicity in coherent diffraction of onium on a heavy nucleus
We derive the cross section for the diffractive gluon production in high
energy onium-nucleus collisions that includes the low-x evolution effects in
the rapidity interval between the onium and the produced gluon and in the
rapidity interval between the gluon and the target nucleus. We analyze our
result in two limiting cases: when the onium size is much smaller than the
saturation scale and when its size is much larger than the saturation scale. In
the later case the gluon multiplicity is very small in the quasi-classical case
and increases when the low-x evolution effects in onium become significant. We
discuss the implications of our result for the RHIC, LHC and EIC phenomenology.Comment: 21 pages, 5 figure
Spin mapping, phase diagram, and collective modes in double layer quantum Hall systems at
An exact spin mapping is identified to simplify the recently proposed
hard-core boson description (Demler and Das Sarma, Phys. Rev. Lett., to be
published) of the bilayer quantum Hall system at filling factor 2. The
effective spin model describes an easy-plane ferromagnet subject to an external
Zeeman field. The phase diagram of this effective model is determined exactly
and found to agree with the approximate calculation of Demler and Das Sarma,
while the Goldstone-mode spectrum, order parameter stiffness and
Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature in the canted antiferromagnetic phase are
computed approximately.Comment: 4 pages with 2 figures include
Absolute Negative Conductivity in Two-Dimensional Electron Systems Associated with Acoustic Scattering Stimulated by Microwave Radiation
We discuss the feasibility of absolute negative conductivity (ANC) in
two-dimensional electron systems (2DES) stimulated by microwave radiation in
transverse magnetic field. The mechanism of ANC under consideration is
associated with the electron scattering on acoustic piezoelectric phonons
accompanied by the absorption of microwave photons. It is demonstrated that the
dissipative components of the 2DES dc conductivity can be negative
() when the microwave frequency is
somewhat higher than the electron cyclotron frequency or its
harmonics. The concept of ANC associated with such a scattering mechanism can
be invoked to explain the nature of the occurrence of zero-resistance
``dissipationless'' states observed in recent experiments.Comment: 7 pager, 2 figure
Dynamics of Solitons and Quasisolitons of Cubic Third-Order Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation
The dynamics of soliton and quasisoliton solutions of cubic third order
nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation is studied. The regular solitons exist due
to a balance between the nonlinear terms and (linear) third order dispersion;
they are not important at small ( is the coefficient in
the third derivative term) and vanish at . The most essential,
at small , is a quasisoliton emitting resonant radiation (resonantly
radiating soliton). Its relationship with the other (steady) quasisoliton,
called embedded soliton, is studied analytically and in numerical experiments.
It is demonstrated that the resonantly radiating solitons emerge in the course
of nonlinear evolution, which shows their physical significance
Higher-order vortex solitons, multipoles, and supervortices on a square optical lattice
We predict new generic types of vorticity-carrying soliton complexes in a
class of physical systems including an attractive Bose-Einstein condensate in a
square optical lattice (OL) and photonic lattices in photorefractive media. The
patterns include ring-shaped higher-order vortex solitons and supervortices.
Stability diagrams for these patterns, based on direct simulations, are
presented. The vortex ring solitons are stable if the phase difference \Delta
\phi between adjacent solitons in the ring is larger than \pi/2, while the
supervortices are stable in the opposite case, \Delta \phi <\pi /2. A
qualitative explanation to the stability is given.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
